Where I live if you can't afford rent you're just out on the fucking streets to die, there's no net cafe option or anything else.
Plus I fucking mean it when I saw "to die", due to a very high crime rate. Even if you ended up in the streets in Japan at least you wouldn't get stabbed over not having anything to give to your mugger

Sounds pretty good to me

Where I live most people won't be right out on to the streets unless they are addicts (or usually if they have brain damage or mental conditions, who once on the street can become addicts). The crime rate isn't very high but they freeze to death in the winter. There's a homeless memorial book downtown and every winter it fills up with Jane/John Doe names for all the anonymous folks who died from the cold.

But isn't there a huge social stigma in Japan with being homeless? Like most people would rather die than being seeing in the situation of begging for food/money?

There are homeless people in Japan just like everywhere else, dude. Once you're actually starving taboos stop mattering.

That said they do constantly make efforts to expel and hide homeless people to keep them out of sight as much as possible.

Yeah it's generally addicts and alcoholics who actually live on the streets, if you can't afford a house then most people put up a tent in the forests or the mountains.

Most people in Japan who don't live in something like a net cafe specifically live on the street to avoid loan sharks. According to japanese law if the lender doesn't contact you for 5 years then the debt is absolved. So they need to hide for 5 years, and if they rented even a net cafe room their names would show up on the bill and the loan sharks would find them.

Post more videos about social issues in Japan please. How come SK and Japan, both highly developed countries, manage to be such hellholes to live in beneath the surface.

people are deluded by movies into thinking that everyone is always happy, the happiness of 5% rests on the unhappiness of the 95%
there are no utopias only lullabies that let you sleep at night

It's fucking hell to find a job in Japan if you're an old guy who got fired. I think that would be the main reason.

I have to wonder why someone lives in a room that worn down, but owns a few dozen figurines and electronics.

Company loyalty is very big there. Most employees are recruited out of college and seemingly pledge themselves to a single company for life. In turn, the longer they've been there, the further they move up; imagine being fired from your job at the age of 50 and having to enter a new company and start from the bottom because you don't have the skills to survive in a new-age startup, and you don't have the length of service or something like that with your new company to start high up in their hierarchy. Most women end up in part time or non-career jobs after their kids go off to school and they finish being housewives because they're sensible enough to not get back on that ladder. Pic related shows the dip in female employment during the housewife years after they finish finding a husband at whatever company they're doing pink jobs at, and before their kids grow up. I think there's pretty big benefits to pledging yourself to a company for life in that you get major personal security in terms of employment and benefits, but there's obviously many disadvantages with that model if you want to leave your company for any reason.

This, also you don't even have to fuck things up and get fired or quit on your own accord out of being a retard. Companies go bankrupt now and then.

People realized a long time ago that the job culture in Japan is fucking shit and something to avoid at all costs.
Also, if you work in the programming (IT) field, never ever go into Japan. In that field you need job mobility (which they don't facilitate). Also they just are third world tier in that regard. They live in their little bubble, it's like they don't even know the existence of stackoverflow or of libraries to avoid remaking the wheel in a shittier way.
